Warning Signs You Need a Furnace Repair

We’ve been fixing furnaces for more than half a century. Our technicians can diagnose and repair any furnace problem you may be experiencing throughout Hamel, IL and the surrounding areas! Here are some of the most common furnace repair issues.

Your furnace won’t start up.

If your furnace won’t start, first check your thermostat to make sure it’s set correctly. If the thermostat is set right, and the furnace still isn’t starting itself, the problem may be:

A malfunctioning pilot light

Obstructed gas or propane flow

A tripped or blown circuit breaker

Your furnace isn’t getting hot enough.

If the air coming from your vents seems cool, check your thermostat first. If it’s set correctly, the issue may be:

Leaky ductwork

A dirty filter

Imbalanced airflow in your home

Your furnace is making noise.

Loud noises when the furnace starts up. A loud pop at startup can indicate a number of problems. Depending on the noise, the issue may be delayed ignition, a dirty condenser, a faulty inducer motor, or a cracked heat exchanger—which is a carbon monoxide danger, so call Ernst right away if this is happening.

Rumbling sounds from the furnace. Rumbling may mean that oil is dripping from a nozzle onto the floor and burning. If you hear rumbling, call Ernst right away—oil burning is another carbon monoxide hazard.

Rattling or banging furnace noises. A rattle or bang that starts before the blower begins can mean your furnace has a cracked heat exchanger. This is another serious carbon monoxide danger, so, again, call Ernst immediately if you notice this type of noise.

Groaning, whining, or humming from the furnace. These noises can happen when something is loose inside the unit, or when there is a problem with your furnace’s bearings.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

When properly cleaned and maintained, most furnaces do not produce more than a minimal amount of carbon monoxide. However, if your gas, propane, or oil furnace is dirty and running poorly, it can produce a deadly amount of carbon monoxide. We recommend that you install a carbon monoxide detector and alarm in your home, and make sure everyone in your home is familiar with these important carbon monoxide safety measures.

Don’t let an inefficient heating system put a chill in your family’s comfort! Ernst offers scheduled and emergency heating repair throughout Madison County and the Metro East area—just call 618-887-6093 or make a service appointment online.
